Living healthy isn’t just about staying in shape physically, it is also having a good mental state and being able to connect with society. With this in mind, Samsung has remastered its smartwatch portfolio to bring us the Galaxy Watch Active2, a device designed to give users well-rounded advice to get ahead in health and wellness. Two months after its global debut, Samsung’s purposefully-designed smartwatch has finally arrived in Malaysia and promises to make a positive difference in your life.

“As a company that is driven by innovation, we created the Galaxy Watch Active2 to encourage freedom of expression and inspire positivity because we understand the importance of finding a balance between work and life. In the pursue of professional development, we tend to overlook our personal wellbeing – now the Galaxy Watch Active2 is here to help us keep track of our health and stay motivated, all the while ensuring that we remain connected and up-to-date. For those looking to lead healthier, smarter lives and still look stylish while at it, the Galaxy Watch Active2 may just be the accessory you need around your wrist” said Yoonsoo Kim, President of Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

The Galaxy Watch Active2 serves as a guide to improve health and wellness, providing actionable insights that can help users make positive lifestyle choices in their diet, exercise, mental health, sleep, and more; while looking sleek and stylish in the process.

Let’s Get Physical

Dedicated gym-goers and fitness enthusiasts aside, many of us struggle to find time or motivation to get up, lace up our sneakers and get to sweating. The Galaxy Watch Active2 is engineered to assist with goals setting and provides users real-time form and fitness coaching to help them get the most out of their exercises. It does not only have new innovative health sensors which take in readings faster so users can maximize their fitness routine and stay on track, this smartwatch can manually track more than 39 workouts with seven of them automatically activated. So, take Galaxy Watch Active2 as your coach that be with you for every step of the way and that will help you achieve the first of the three-part journey to health and wellness.

It’s All In The Mind

Staying active isn’t just about keeping fit and ensuring our bodies age well – it is equally vital for our mental state. Beyond fitness tracking, this smartwatch provides seamless access via Samsung Health to guided meditation programmes that provides better mindfulness and wellness experiences. Last but not least, the enhanced sleep analysis algorithms help users work toward healthy sleep patterns (through the four sleep stages), aiding recovery at night and getting them ready and refreshed to take on the next day.

Staying Connected

The mind is the commanding centre of the body – it has the power to shape our emotions and influence the way we connect with the people around us. The Galaxy Watch Active2 makes it easy for users to stay connected to their life, and their other devices, even while they are away or on-the-go. Apps like social media viewers are accessible with just a tap of the finger and offer more interaction with content. Users can even journey across the globe with greater confidence, as Galaxy Watch Active2 now supports convenient real-time voice and text translation in over 16 languages.[1]

Another way Samsung is making it even easier to stay connected is through its partnership with Spotify[2]. Sign into your Samsung account with single sign-on from either phone or smartwatch, and easily browse through your music, podcasts on Spotify and enjoy a continuous listening experience. The Galaxy Watch Active2 brings seamless device interaction experiences, and makes access to music, podcasts and multimedia access even easier.

Freedom of Expression

Finally, complement our healthy bodies, minds and souls with a dash of confidence. For a final touch, strap on the Galaxy Watch Active2 to complete your ensemble and strut away! The Galaxy Watch Active2 is masterfully designed to be both beautiful and customizable to our lives. It comes in two different sizes – 44mm and 40mm in diameter – and two styles: lightweight aluminium with a casual Fluoroelastomer (FKM) Band, and premium solid stainless steel with a leather strap. Both variants can be personalised with a range of additional stylish strap and watch-face options.

The Galaxy Watch Active2 features a brand new upgrade to its signature rotating bezel – turning it digital to make it even more convenient to navigate while maximizing the screen size. Now directly on the beautifully curved Super AMOLED screen, the rotating touch bezel turns both clockwise and counter-clockwise to advance screens so users can easily select favourite apps. Plus, the upgraded One UI offers a simple, clear and natural user experience for navigation.

For users who want a watch as stylish as they are, they can customise their Galaxy Watch Active2 face to their outfit with the My Style colour extraction algorithm. Available in the Galaxy Wearable app, simply take a photo of the outfit, choose from five different colour patterns, and the watch face changes in seconds. Here’s to matching personal style each and every day!

Your Partner to the Galaxy Ecosystem

As part of the Galaxy family, the Galaxy Watch Active2 brings the best of Samsung’s Galaxy ecosystem to the smartwatch for those who want to do it all. When the Galaxy Watch Active2 is paired to your Galaxy smartphone, for example, the Watch Camera Controller[3] on the Galaxy Watch Active2 allows you to take photos, start recording a video, preview footage on the watch, switch between front and rear lenses, set a timer and then check the final photo or video – all from your wrist. You can also use Wireless PowerShare on your Galaxy smartphone to charge your smartwatch in an easy and intuitive way.

Plus, all the Samsung services you get with Galaxy ecosystem – like Samsung Health, SmartThings, Samsung Pay,[4] and more – are seamlessly integrated with your watch and across your devices. You can use, for example, Bixby to navigate your watch, start a workout or check the weather. And of course, everything you do on your watch is protected by Knox technology.

The introduction of the Galaxy Watch Active2 Under Armour Edition combined with our UA HOVR connected footwear and unique MapMyRun experience will help runners improve their running form and ultimately their performance.”

Always-on Running Coach

The Galaxy Watch Active2 Under Armour Edition provides real-time form and fitness coaching to users to help them get the most out of their runs. Using data from the smartwatch or from Under Armour Connected Footwear, users will see visual feedback and hear audio cues during workouts, which will help improve their stride, maintain their pace and continue on the path to conquering their fitness goals.

The Galaxy Watch Active2 Under Armour Edition encourages users to set personalized goals such as pace, distance and duration, and will provide audio cues and haptic feedback throughout their run. With real-time coaching based on data collected from the watch, the wearer will receive comprehensive feedback that helps them adjust their form. Post-workout, users will receive in-depth form analysis and detailed coaching tips on their smartphone, offering an in-depth perspective on running technique that no other product provides.

MapMyRun Partnership
